Hi guys,

I have the following grep command in a script to search through a file for a string and return its count, and it works fine for when the string exists:

grep "string" file.txt | wc

However, sometimes the result will be 0 and I want the script to take this as the result. Right now it is just dumping out with a "child process exited abnormally"

How can I get around this so that if the result is 0 then the script doesnt dump out and takes the result as 0?

thanks
